Sweden’s Jens Lekman is currently touring the USA in support of his new album Life Will See You Now (Secretly Canadian). Lekman is known for writing songs about heartache, and with the new record, he described it as a “a midlife-crisis disco album; it's an existentialist record, about seeing the consequences of your choices”.

The problem also is their ungooglable name of Baby Baby. Anyway, their new single is called "Don't Kiss The Merch Girl" which was taken from their debut album, Money, released one year ago in May 2011.

Having been absent from the music scene since 2003, I’m happy to report that ska-punk band Save Ferris (named after Ferris Bueller's Day Off) will be in town this Saturday, March 11th at the Fine Line Music Café.

If I told you that I was going to to see the illustrious and the ever-more-present “Godmother of Punk”, Patti Smith, some may bat your eyes and say “Wow. Good for you. Bringing it back to the good ol’ days.”

Other shows in the area:

03/08/2017 Patti Smith (not to be confused with Patty Smyth) will be performing Horses at Northrop Auditorium. Not to be missed if you love the punk poet.

Smith was last seen in Minnesota at Station to Station in St Paul and we wrote, “Patti Smith’s set ran just short of an hour, almost double her allotted time, but was still too short for most of the enraptured crowd. Though the performance came off as under rehearsed and a tad sloppy, this was precisely the type of experimentation and ‘creative collision’ that the festival itself was based on, and in that regard, was a complete triumph.”

03/08/2017 We The Kings is over at Triple Rock Social Club with Plaid Brixx.

03/09/2017 British metal band Architects will be at the Cabooze this Thursday. Stray From The Path and Make Them Suffer to open.
